After punishing Zari, the group continued to have dinner, but the atmosphere changed a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After eating hastily (much to Sophia's disappointment), the group went to rest.

Because, the next day, it's time to embark on a journey. You need to recharge your batteries.

Predictably, this will be the only time in many days to sleep in the house.

Before dawn the next day, Martin and the others had already gotten up and packed up. And the foot merchant is ready. This is when the sky is at its darkest. It is important to know that this snow will reflect the light, so that there is a certain amount of light at night. But snow itself doesn't shine after all. The best effect is to choose the time of departure when the moon sets and the sun does not rise. In the thick of the night, the men and horses were clothed, and even the hooves of the cattle were wrapped in cloth. Quietly and quickly, Martin and his party crossed the streets to the gates of the fortress.

At the gate, the flames in the brazier were burning, reflecting the figure of the guards who were dutiful in their duties. Martin stepped forward and showed the commander's order. When the guard recognized it as Martin, he let him go. His commander had already explained the situation to him.

The door opened silently - the guards had deliberately applied a thick layer of lubrication to avoid the squeak. Martin nodded in thanks and gave them a small gift—bottles of spirits, just in time for the cold weather to quietly warm up. Then, Martin and his party quietly disappeared into the night outside the fortress.

This was all arranged before.

The reason why it is so sneaky is because of the count who covets Sophia's beauty.

Who knows what he's going to do, if he stealthily gathers his men and ambushes them around here, ready to fight Martin and them. That's very dangerous.

Although, as long as Sophia is handed over, that kind of danger can be completely avoided. But Martin certainly wouldn't do that. Although, keeping Sophia could have a detrimental effect on this critical mission - and that was at stake in saving Lyukrixia. However, Martin is determined to protect Sophia, and he believes that Lyukrisia will support her in doing so. Martin believes that not only will she not complain, but she will also praise Martin for doing the right thing.

Of course, this is still Martin's naivety. That wasn't the case at all.

It's not that Lyukrisia thinks she is very important, Martin should wholeheartedly find that holy relic for himself, and leave Sophia aside and be the Earl**. Liukrisia has no objection to Martin's protection of Sophia, and in her opinion, Martin is doing the right thing, and she also supports Martin in helping Sofia. But Quamartin or something? Hahaha. Don't praise Martin for nothing else, the reason is simple: jealousy.

Although the strength of Martin's party is generally not bad. But a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves. Besides, seeing that the merchant had brought news and that things had come to light, Martin was not willing to make a fuss.

So I sneaked out cautiously. Avoid alarming the Earl, lest he arrange for men to surround and intercept him.

Of course, the commander of the fortress also helped out. Not only did he arrange for the guards to keep the door open for Martin and the others at night. He also sent someone to keep an eye on the earl's tip, and took measures to organize the earl to know that Martin and the others had already set off. And it was decided to detain the count at a critical moment. At the same time, he also arranged a group of people to receive Martin and others outside.

He helped Martin so thoughtfully, which was multifaceted. On the one hand, there is a letter of introduction from Trace, who owes a great favor to Trace, and Trace, who is a very unusual person, with great strength and influence. On the other hand, the gifts Martin gave him were also very valuable, and they were not given for free, and he would not receive them in vain.

Along the way, Martin let the others go ahead. And leave yourself at the end to clean up the traces. The way he tied a broom to his horse's tail was effective, and he had some of the druid's own tricks to further clean up the trail and prevent enemies from following him.

As the sky gradually brightened, Martin and the others had already traveled a considerable distance.

In order to confuse the enemy and prevent them from being followed, Martin also made the group change their path several times, and even made a trip on the frozen river for a while. Before he set out, Martin had already instructed Natasha, who was born as a nomad and was therefore in charge of the herds. The horses' horseshoes are equipped with ice spikes that allow them to walk on the ice without slipping.

After walking for a while, the sky was completely bright. Martin and the others arrived at a makeshift camp.

The troops of the commander of the fortress to receive Martin and the others were waiting there. They would accompany Martin for a while until they were out of the control of the fortress.

There were 11 of them, and two ice wolves. It's a pretty tough little force. They were well equipped, and 10 of them were cavalrymen, and all of them rode horses, carrying swords and spears. There were also 3 men with bows and arrows. In addition, there is a mysterious force in the Northlands - the witch. It's just that at the moment instead of riding on the famous flying broomstick, but also riding a horse.

"There's work, there's work. Martin said these words with a smile on his face as he offered the benefits.

These people acting as bodyguards for Martin and his party can be quite effective. It's not that their own combat effectiveness is so strong that they can overturn more than a hundred people on the other side, the key is their identity.

As long as the Earl wasn't crazy enough to want to go head-on with the North Sea Nation, then he had to think twice before moving them.

This team is arranged with a focus on high mobility, in the event of an attack by the Earl. The witch will immediately ride back to the fortress on a broomstick, and the Icewolf will return to camp with a letter box around his neck. Whether it's intercepting a witch flying in the sky, or an ice wolf that runs fast and weird in a snow protection color, it's not an easy task. And as insurance, someone will directly ride back to the fortress to report.

Therefore, if the Earl does not have the ability to wipe out this group, then the report of the person who slipped back will be reported by the commander, and it may even provoke the anger of the North Sea King. A mere earl generally doesn't have the guts to take such a big risk.

Of course, considering the situation of the greedy sky, he may also arrange some kind of tricks. For example, if you really act secretly, capture Sophia, and kill everyone else, then you can't really trace him down.

Therefore, everyone is still ready for battle and has increased their vigilance. After all, even if the Earl came to attack them and cause the wrath of the King of the North Sea, it would be after they were all cut down. No one wants that. Since distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, everyone still has to rely on themselves.

"Why, what are they......" the trader hesitated. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Why are there these soldiers to protect Martin?

"It's nothing, we had a little conflict with one side before, and the Commander sent these people to protect us just in case. Martin said indifferently.

The "......" merchant was a little nervous. He didn't know about it before.

"The Northland is dangerous, and I think you should be prepared to get involved in the battle before you go. Martin said.

"But it also depends on what kind of danger, a powerful person like you still needs such a team of people to protect, wow. The trader's bargain was accompanied by compliments.

"Well, I'll give you another bounty for this. Martin said impatiently, not wanting this to get in the way of his actions. With that, Martin handed over the ten gold coins directly.

Ten gold coins seem to be very light, not worth much, and there is no such thing as a hundred thousand gold coins for an armor or a million gold coins for a mansion. But in fact, it's not a small amount of money. Gold has a large proportion and a very high price. Just go to a gold and silver jewelry store and see the price of 50 grams of gold, and you can definitely feel the value of these ten gold coins. The bard, who is constantly talking about a hundred thousand gold coins, may not own the gold coins himself at all, and does not know their value.

The Foot Merchant nodded in agreement and took the coin. You must know that the person who dares to come out to do business in the north is not the kind of person who is full of brains and intestines, and is cowardly and easy to bully. In fact, this merchant Kong Wu had the strength to carry a long sword at his waist, and it was not a problem to cut down ordinary robbers. Therefore, he was willing to take the risk for the sake of the great bounty that Martin had promised. That's more than just ten gold coins.

Martin was quite pleased with the gang sent out to protect them. These people know at a glance that their strength is not bad: their eyes are bright, and their every move reveals the explosive power contained in their muscles. As for the witch, it is clear that she also has a considerable degree of mystical power.

They are well equipped. Everyone has armor to protect themselves. Six of them were clearly heavily armoured, and four of them were wearing heavy chain mail reinforced with iron bars. Iron ore on the continent generally has a high sulfur content, resulting in plate armor that can only be forged by masters. Therefore the use is limited. However, there are also two people who wear well-made plate armor. From the gestures, it is revealed that he is the leader. Martin asked, and sure enough, one of them was the captain and the other was the vice-captain. Each of these warriors also had an extra axe, long and short. The Northlanders are very good at fighting with axes, which is quite famous.

The three archers, each also armed with a sword, just did not carry an axe or spear. Northland archers are quite adept at melee combat. A general once commented that it was not so much a ranged class as it was a hand-to-hand combat class. This is partly related to the rough and brave character of the Northlanders, who prefer to hold the shield that they carried behind their backs in order not to hinder archery, and brandish their long swords to charge. On the other hand, their bows are really not very good because of the weather, and some generals have commented that the bow and arrow are stupid (because of the limited power), and the long sword is a good man, and the long sword will not lie to you when it is cut on the enemy. Northland archers are pretty useful when it's time to fight, just imagine when the enemy's melee class has gone through the torture of their arrow rain attack, and finally advances in front of them, ready to take the guy to a good job. The abominable Northland archers, however, did not flee in all directions like the archers elsewhere, but raised their shields and drew their swords and charged back against them...... That kind of demoralization thing has more than once rewritten the development of the tide of the war. In the squad adventure, they also performed well. Because of their melee capabilities, others can concentrate on their own fights without worrying about protecting them from being close to the enemy.

However, some people can be a little skeptical about their strength. After a while, Natasha quietly rode up to Martin's side, bit his ear and said, "Are these people really good at riding? Especially the man," Natasha pointed with her chin, "swaying on horseback and almost falling off." The man she was talking about was large, not wearing iron armor, but wrapped in a thick, specially treated bear skin. From afar, the man looked like a big bear.

Martin smiled indifferently: "You look at them with the eyes of a good cavalryman, of course you can't look down on them." After all, for cavalry, equestrianism comes first. But they are Northlanders, not a people who are good at cavalry. I believe that these people will be much more effective when they fight on foot than if they were on horseback. They rode horses mainly for transportation, and they were still willing to do so when they actually fought."

"As for the man. Martin added, "I don't think he knows how to fight on horseback, but he is the most reassuring to me." Because he's a berserker!"

Berserker?Natasha's eyes narrowed, of course she had heard of the prestige of that kind of person. It's not very cold, though. After all, for nomads, they are the least afraid of berserkers. It can even be said that the excellent cavalry archers of the nomads, under the command of excellent people, will be the nemesis of the berserkers.

But Martin knew that when it came to melee combat, Berserker could be very powerful. Martin had previously read the introduction of Berserker: Berserker is a very fierce, impulsive, unyielding fighter. Once the enemy is engaged, they forget about their personal safety. They will use chanting, spirits, special mushrooms, rituals, and even self-harm to bring themselves into a state of madness. And once they go berserk, then there's little that can be stopped. When they are bloodthirsty and engaged in battle, they will deeply fear their enemies with their terrifying combat effectiveness. They are one of the top infantrymen.

But they also have weaknesses. Heavy armor prevents them from running after enemies, so they tend to wear only relatively light armor. And they fought on foot. Therefore, an excellent riding archer with a good horse and a good bow can completely pull away and solve them like a kite. It's no wonder that Natasha isn't particularly optimistic about this berserker.

However, Martin knew the power of the Berserker - in fact, the Berserker himself was in the blood of his own people, and Martin had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as the Northlanders, but they were separated from each other due to the Great Migration. He knew how powerful warriors could be more insane than the raging barbarians. There was a time when these fast-running berserkers, after going berserk, even caught up with the enemy's heavy cavalry, which had been slowed down by their heavy armor. dragged those cavalrymen off their horses one by one and fell to their deaths, and even overturned them to the ground with their horses and men.

Some melee combatants are referred to as barbarians. They possess an ability known as "Berserk", and when they enter a berserk state, Barbarians become stronger, can defeat enemies more easily, and are more able to withstand attacks. Martin, however, knew that in terms of the destructive power they bringed, the Berserker's berserker ability was far superior to the Barbarian's berserk ability. It's just that after the Berserker goes berserk, it's hard to control. Unlike barbarians, they can still obey commands to fight.

Such a strong profession is, of course, a scarce resource. In fact, back then, Berserkers were the strongest melee fighters in their clan. To be able to send such a person to help, Martin's gift can be said to be in vain.

In addition, the Witch and Icewolf sent by the Commander are also very characteristic of the Northlands. The former is a particularly mysterious power of the Northlanders. The magic they use is a very different system of magic than the arcane magic used by Liucretia or Shirley. It's very mysterious. Very effective in quite a few ways. Of course, it also has its weaknesses, so it is not promoted.

Witches who generally serve in the Northland Army are mainly engaged in reconnaissance missions with the flying ability of their broomsticks, and their attacks are often to shoot enchanted arrows. Because there is no armor, it is relatively fragile. The tactics used are somewhat similar to those of the light cavalry.

As for the ice wolf, it is a large and ferocious canine. Far more effective than the average wolf. The Northlanders have a special way of training them and getting them to join the army to fight. Just like other peoples use military dogs. In ancient times, some barbarians used huge mastiffs to fight. Compared to those mastiffs, the ice wolves are definitely surpassed! Their combat power is very strong, and their speed is very fast. And because of his size, he can do some things that are not easy for humans to do, so he can use tactics that are different from ordinary troops. It is a very effective help in the Northland army.

In fact, there are some other exotic beasts and strange troops in the army of the Northlands. For example, the Frost Giant, who is clad in heavy scale armor, can directly sweep away enemy soldiers on the city wall with his mace when he stands up straight. There is also an armored bear whose body is covered with heavy armor protection, and its body is huge and powerful, and it is difficult to carry it even with armor even if it is slapped in the face. There are also dwarves, and there are whole tribes, and entire tribes have joined the North Sea Country. They were very suitable to act as hoplites.

However, Martin was not prepared to attack a castle or engage thousands of enemy soldiers, so he would certainly not be accompanied by a well-equipped army. It's such an easy squad to move around.

The team marched, and suddenly, the Icewolf wrinkled its nose and roared.

"Prepare for battle!" then the captain of the Northern Army shouted along with Martin.

Then, the captain turned to look at Martin with a hint of surprise in his expression.

"I'm a druid, and I know how much more sensitive animals are to certain senses than humans. What's more, I've read books and know that the Icewolves in the Northland Army are known for spotting enemy ambushes. Martin explained to him why he was able to give the same order in time.

Everyone immediately began to prepare for battle as soon as they heard the order, the warriors drew their weapons one after another, and the casters began to chant incantations.

"I can't see anything!" said Natasha. This young girl from a nomadic background has a keen eyesight that ordinary people can't match. A pair of eyes that are as sharp and sharp as an eagle's eye. This is also a characteristic of nomadic peoples. It is with this vision that they graze and cook their livestock in the vast savannah, preventing them from getting lost.

"Then the enemy is likely to be down there!" Martin shouted, "Blessing Resist Elemental Damage!"

Immediately, Shirley took out a wand and began to bless everyone with the magic of resisting elemental damage.

Suddenly, there was a trembling sound, and some of the horses became restless, and the pack horses, which were untrained. Immediately he froze. Completely stunned by the trill

The ground shook suddenly. The cavalryman who was at the front jumped off his horse.

Just as he was dodging, a huge ugly head popped up and swept by, without striking.

Martin guessed right, it was the frostworms that attacked them. A cold-blooded super-large magical beast. Frost bugs are used to lying in ambush under the snow, waiting for their prey to approach. Then, they will first use a tremolo attack, which is a supernatural ability that can scare their prey and make them stand still. Then the frost worms will bite the helpless prey.

However, after all, war horses are unusual, they have been specially trained, and they may not necessarily eat this set. And these people here are all strong-willed people. Only the merchant, along with two horsemen and three horses and pack horses, were immobilized. Everyone else was able to go about their business as usual.

Without waiting for the order, everyone spontaneously dragged the unfortunate people and horses back, and Martin and the others, who had already been added to the resistance elemental damage, immediately stepped forward to meet the frost worms.

Martin chanted the incantation, and huge flames roared down from the sky, pouring down like a brightly colored orange-yellow waterfall, and slamming into the snow. Suddenly, the thick layer of snow melted into water and then into steam. In a cloud of white mist, the huge body of the frost worm could be seen suddenly erected, and then writhing violently. It was clearly not lightly injured. As soon as Martin made a move, it was a very powerful, high-level fourth-level divine flame strike technique.

Shirley was also very fast, and she was just as successful in casting a spell. The blazing flames rose out of thin air above the snowfield, and it was a fourth-level arcane fire wall technique.

They both used flame-based magic. This has an additional bonus damage for cold creatures. It's just a pity that half of Martin's power in his Flame Strike is not the power of fire, but the power of God. Otherwise, the damage to the enemy will be even greater.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――I'm sorry, I haven't updated it in a long time. Some things were busy before, and so on, which led to the delay until now. So update a little more at a time.

Anyway, I always wrote the plot and emotional content before, and I haven't written a battle scene for a long time. From now on, the battle scenes will gradually increase back.

Of course, this also allows me to get some things back and change them to an SSD. Although it's very small, it's only 128G.,But after the system was put in, I already felt the goodness of this.,Anyway, the various Chicas before are really the problem of hard disks...... Actually, I haven't touched DND for a long time. Once you write about the rules, you can't remember anything. The druid magic is still being checked just now. After all, one of the main reasons for me to write this novel was the game DDO, which has been closed for several years. In the past, I also played DND games such as "Gray Eagle", so it's easy to write. It's been a long time since I touched DND. The feeling for it faded.

That said, my feeling for cartoons has also faded. However, the theater version of "The Tale of Rebellion" by the magical girl Madoka that came out before, all kinds of praise. In it, Xiao Meiyan's battle against the senior sister's gun fighting skills, tsk, in fact, the excitement is also discounted because the two rarely appear in the same picture. But the length is very long, and it is very cool. In other aspects, the design of the characteristic dog curry band is naturally not less, and there are many small details that are great. The new house is not bad for money, and it is really mighty. All in all strongly recommended. I also borrowed books on film scholarship from the library to prepare for a better interpretation of the film.

The red sun is scorching, the local temperature is rising rapidly, and it is swimming season again, but the abdominal muscles are still not trained......

In the end, someone who wants to make friends with me, the QQ number you left is completely blocked......
